I received a txt message in response to an ad I have on gumtree. The txt message came through from someone called 'bec' however they're not in my phone contacts. I replied via email as requested in the txt message. Something didn't seem right so I searched the email address in google which showed she appeared to be a serial scammer.
She asked for my best offer on my item and I stated what I wanted. I then asked what exactly my item was to which I got the reply

Thanks for your reply and am glad to know that it is still available for sale.However i have few questions on the item you are selling.

1,I would like to know the reason why you are selling it?
2,Do you have the original box for it?
3,what is the present condition of the item and is it ok to be a gift?
4,Do you mind if i pay you through paypal though i would be willing to add an extra dollars to cover

the shipping because am not local at the moment i am out of town on a rig offshore and i would like to purchase this item as a gift for someone very special to me at overseas.If you do not have a PayPal account, you can do so by going to www.PayPal.com and set up your account it is free,easy and guarantees transaction safety.Once you send me your paypal email account, I will send you the payment for your item as well as $90 to cover shipping via Auspost Express Mail Service.
I would be glad if my request is favorably considered,few more photos will be appreciated as well.
Thanks


She could still not name the item which I am selling and this has nothing to do with the correspondence we had via email. I replied with "I am not selling to a spam account, good luck with your search for the item you cannot name"
